Welcome to Horror Movie Podcast Episode 169, Part 1 of an exploration of African American Representation in Horror with a massive review of Jordan Peele’s Us (2019), both with and without spoilers, as well as a Shudder-sponsored Screaming Online review of Horror Noire – A History of Black Horror (2019)! Your regular horror hosts—Gillman Joel, Wolfman Josh and Dr. Shock—are joined by special guests Ash2Ashes of the Kill the Dead podcast and Ashlee Blackwell of GraveyardShiftSisters.com, who is also the writer/producer of Horror Noire. Apologies for the delay of this episode. We had a massive hard drive failure last week, just as we were about to post the show. Spent the week trying to fix the problem and then ultimately had to edit the episode a second time this past weekend.
